Holy heckie batman it's almost october that's fucked up!!

ACTIVITY CHECK
REMEMBER TO DO YOUR AC BY THE 1ST!!! If ur hiatusing say so on the hiatus tab, same thing if you're dropping! If you don't have AC but are like FUCK I HAD A BAD MONTH CAN I GET A PASS just dm me or put a comment on the hiatus tab as well!


OCTOBER SHENANIGANS
Everyone will change back to their default angel/devil/whatever forms! No more Weres~ But as the current TDM implies, it's SPOOPY season, so you can assume both Heaven and Hell have Halloween like decor everywhere (with Heaven's version being very kid friendly and dubbing it a "fall festival" lol)

But wait there's more! Abe and Lucy will be missing for the month, and replaced with two new guests~ And there will be some OPT IN dark elements to play with!

CW - BODY HORROR/SKIN PEELING
ETERNAL DAMNATION (Hell Level) - Whenever on the hell level, characters may suddenly see a flaming number over their head. The number is the number sins they've committed/number of the worst sin they've committed (this is up for player interpretation). In accordance with that number, pieces of their flesh, or even limbs or eyeballs, whatever you decide, will peel off them in a spiral like pattern. Very painful! Strangely enough, characters will find a golden thread and needle in their pocket if this happens.

What's more, if they try to collect their flesh/limbs, it will burn them! Yep someone else has to get your flesh and stitch it back to you. Unfortunately, it won't stick to you unless confess a sin. So if you lost ten chunks, welp--you better confess ten sins!! If you don't get fixed by the month's end. . .hope you enjoy dying and going to Void time out for a bit!

EATEN BY GUILT (Heaven Level) - Then on Heavenside, characters may suddenly feel a heavy weight on their chests. They may be prone to crying or even hallucinating--what? Regrets. Guilt. Someone you failed to save? Did you betray someone? Did you step on your cat's paw??? Anything goes. But someone decides to take this literally--characters will have chunks bitten out of them. This can be as dire as a bite to the stomach, or just a notch in the ear, or even a little peck. Once they've lost at least one chunk, they'll find that there's a bright red glove somewhere on their person. Hm.

Well never mind that--if they carry on like this, they will eventually be eaten alive or lose too much blood. . .until they confess to someone else what they're guilty of. Once doing so, the other person will INSTINCTIVELY KNOW. . .they need to slap the stupid out of them. This will reverse the damage. The number of slaps needed is up to the damage remaining/player interpretation.

Can you tell this is Uzumaki inspired. HAPPY UZUMAKI ON ADULT SWIM NIGHT

CW: POSSESSION:
Time for a Purge - ALTERNATIVELY if body horror isn't your thing, both angels AND devils can opt in to be possessed by ~something~. The characters are still very much themselves, just with an overwhelming urge to purify devils or corrupt angels. . .by brutally murdering them! Characters will believe it's 100% for their own good, and they'll be cleansed when they've been born again :)

If you wanna really go wild and fucking do everything go for it, I can't stop you lol.

For those that want no part of this, don't worry, there will be some gen, fun spoopy prompts too!

MID MONTH MAYHEM
MID-MONTH I'll be honest I can't decide if it'll be a shit post OR a boss battle or maybe some combination of both!! I DON'T KNOW MAN I'M MAKING THIS UP AS I GO.


Anyway the initial post will go up on Oct 1st, so see you then!! Feel free to use this post to plot with folks if need be!


WAIT, THERE'S MORE??
Oh right before I forget--starting November 1st, you can app up to three characters!! Wowie. Just know your limits, it's okay to drop if you need to. I may raise the cap more eventually but right now, easing in and seeing how this does.

OKAY THATS ALL FIRST

ANNOUNCES!!

ACTIVITY CHECK
HOLY FUCK MA IT'S AUGUST 25TH DO YOUR AC. Remember, test drive meme threads are valid for AC, along with backtags from prior months and inbox threads! Literally as long as you're actually playing I generally don't care where your AC comes from. If you're on hiatus, be sure to update the hiatus tab!

SEPTEMBER: WEREWOLF MONTHS DEETS
On September 1st or 2nd depending on attention span and/or how lazy I feel, the gen post for September will go up!! And as said, it is WEREWOLF MONTH. What does this mean for you/your characters??

-Abe/Lucy will have done some CELESTIAL MOON SHENANIGANS and characters will be moonbeamed into Were-creatures of your choice!
-The duration of this is completely up to player preference! Maybe they're only a Were for a few days, or maybe it's the whole month!! Likewise, if you don't want to be part of this furry nonsense, just say the moonbeam missed you. Look at those sheep they're fucking idiots. You can completely avoid it.
-Any kind of were-creature is allowed, and you may give your characters temporary boons/instincts that correlate to the critter you pick, as well keeping any abilities your characters already have!
-Additionally there will be a PVP option for folks, where you can get in a skirmish with others!! More details on that when the actual post goes up!
-There will also be several positive CR building prompts, plus the requisite mid month post which I haven't decided on yet but will hopefully be appealing!!

SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THAT and ask any questions in this post!

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER TDM
A NEW TEST DRIVE MEME IS UP FOR YOUR USE! This will be the TDM for Sept/Oct, but you're still free to use the summer one too if you prefer, idc.

ALRIGHT THAT'S IT THANK U

[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]



A: Garden Level - Fall IN!
[The garden is full of fruits and overflowing with milk and honey as usual, truly a paradise. But gasp, what's this? A PALLET CHANGE? Instead of the typical lush green, it's taken on more Autumn colors for AestheticTM. It's still pleasantly warm as usual though, for current denizens and newbies alike, and it's gosh darn nice to hang out in.

But speaking of newbies and passerbys! If you pop in, you'll find yourself landing in a pile of colorful leaves. But these ain't no normal leaves!! Depending on the color, you may experience the following:

Yellow- Get energized nerd!! Despite just dying, you're suddenly filled to the brim with joy, and far more amicable to the first people you see.
Orange- Ever heard of love at first sight?? IT'S HAPPENING NOW. You may become absolutely smitten with the first few folks that help you out of your pile.
Red- Or the complete opposite! You're filled with the POWER OF AGGRO and ready to argue or fight with whoever you see first!

Or maybe you fall in a pile of mixed leaves that give you a combo of effects, or nullify the effect so nothing happens! Up to you. ]



B, Hell Level: Spooky Scary Skeletons
[Down at the HellRaiser hotel, it's already practically halloween 24/7, but now even more so! The standard hellish hotel amenities are available--massages, hot saunas, all the booze and drugs you could ever want, room service, etc!

But the perpetual night life is where it's at. In celebration of the most unholy season of the year (citation needed), the clubs are HOPPING and playing music loud enough it could raise the (un)dead. . .literally! You could be walking on your way back from getting a burger, and skeleton or zombie bursts from the ground! They might attack you or. . .try to get you to dance with them. Weird. Either way, don't linger too long, or they'll try to get you to go back further into the depths with them. . .

Alternatively maybe you're just accosted by some normal party demons/imps and dragged into a club. Have fun!]



C, Heaven Level: The Holy Spirit Halloween
[Heaven-side, the heavenly hotel is its normal, pampering self, complete with every luxurious amenity you could imagine. However, it seems some parts of the hotel are decorated with more. . .demonic accents??

It's not just the hotel either. Outside, spot angels in all sorts of costumes, ranging from black cats to silly godzilla rubber suits. That's right, TIS THE SEASON, and it's the only time angels get to indulge in more silly ~sinful~ desires! Is this cultural appropriation?? Don't worry about it.

As for you, if you're not chillin' at a cat cafe or the gorgeous beach or a coffee shop, you may find a cherub stuffing you into a silly costume. When in Rome!! You may also come across huge golden depots full of costumes, so feel free to shop around! The cherubs within will also see to your every need, as if they're extensions of the hotel as well]


OOC NOTES:
-"Ash this TDM seems kinda half assed" i don't have any excuse this time i'm just tired
-This TDM is open to all! You do NOT need to join the comm to play in it!
-Post questions for the mods here
-Remember, playing in the TDM does NOT guarantee your entry or app being accepted into the game proper later down the line!
-Apps open!! Be sure to read the rules linked there and check the current taken list!
-For current players: TDMs count as game canon AND threads may be used for AC if you wish!
-Remember regardless of your alignment, you are free to travel to whatever level you wish!

WHAT THE HECKIE IT'S AUGUST WHAT'S GOING ON

AUGUST GEN POST

A new general mingle is up for August! No real gimmick this month aside from the shoulder angels/devils! And it's as it says--your character will shrink and poof on to someone's shoulder until you give them some advice on a decision, no matter how bad said advice is. You can play with this however you like! Don't want to listen to your shoulder buddy so they stay tiny?? Horrible. Valid.

As for the Heaven prompt, angels can be booped temporarily into different forms for August! You can just be a NORMAL ASS CAT or a normal human or anything else! And since these ICly should only last 1-2 days, you can do multiple different things if you'd like, go wild, I do not care!


NEW FACES???
Along with using this post to plot if that's your thing, feel free to introduce yourselves if you trickled in during July! Or don't! I'm not your boss!

ACTIVITY CHECK

GOOD JOB MOST OF YOU PASSED A/C. I've contacted folks who haven't! Plz remember to use the drop/hiatus tab if you need to go MIA for a while! The A/C column has been cleared and is ready to input August A/C!

UPCOMING SHENANIGANS

AUGUST - NO PLANS, CONSIDER THIS A CATCH UP/CR MAKING MONTH UR ON UR OWN. I will still do a silly cr building post mid month tho probably.

SEPTEMBER - BY POPULAR DEMAND AND ALSO YALL BEING FURRIES, September will be Werewolf Month!! And by Werewolf I mean any kind of Were, you don't gotta stick to just wolves. More details to come on the how and why later!

OCTOBER - STILL IRONING IT OUT BUT FOR SPOOKY MONTH there will be a slightly more ~serious~ theme for folks to play with and hopefully have reasons to stab each other for fun, who knows! Stay tuned.


ANYTHING ELSE?

Gawd I hope not I'm tired. ANYWAY ASK QUESTIONS HERE IF YA HAVE EM THANKS

JULY GEN POST AND MENTORS
HELLO THE GEN POST FOR JULY IS UP!!!

Additionally, BEHOLD, the Heaven Mentor Match-up List is here for viewing!! SOME NOTES

-Again, this is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. Heaven or hell, you can ignore this if you want!
-On the flip side, if you want to go hog wild, Heaven mentors can mentor AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY WANT, not just the list provided! This list is more so a jumping point to help with CR.
-'Why do I only have one character' I am bad at math

Again July should be fairly chill so do whatevs!! Feel free to use this post for plotting if need be!

OOC INTROS
WE GOT SOME NEW FOLKS. (RE)INTRODUCE YOURSELVES HERE OR ON PLURK IF YOU WANT

HELLO LOVELIES SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS

ACTIVITY CHECK IS DUE!!!
YEAH ITS THE END OF JUNE WHAT THE FUCK. Remember to comment with your activity on the taken list here!! And use the labeled tab if you were on hiatus or something.

A NEW TEST DRIVE MEME HAS BEEN POST!
IT IS HERE! IT'S KINDA GENERIC. BUT IT'S SURE THERE. BUT WHYST SO GENERIC?

APPS WILL NOW ALWAYS (mostly) BE OPEN!!
That's right apps are open indefinitely! I'll close them if I know I'll be away for a while, but otherwise, apps are open for both new and returning characters! Please give me up to a week to approve any apps though usually it might be sooner. Who knows! Not me! Who doesn't have adhd on this platform.

THERE IS NO THEME FOR JULY!
That's right, no theme event this month!! I figure people will still be backtagging their June stuff, and July would be a good time for folks to further their own arcs and such! I'll still be posting a couple general mingle posts with some prompts, as well as two key optional events:

-The HEAVEN MENTORSHIP program, as started by Harley/Chickenmod!! She is finalizing pair ups, so if you do NOT want your character participating, please comment here to opt out! Same goes if there's any characters for any reason you don't want to be paired up with! COMMENTS IN THIS POST ARE SCREENED.

Of course this is all optional, so even if you get paired up with someone you can just like. Not play lol. But still, this is good for informational purposes!! If you have already DM'd us to opt out, you're good!

-I'll also be making Kaito post an optional forced CR building game/post at some point so be on the look out for that. Spoilers it'll probably involve handcuffs and truth effects.

FUTURE THEMED MONTHS???
I have some in mind but want to hear from YOU. If you have any suggestions for themed months, plop them at this comment!


OKAY THAT'S IT thank u for enjoying heckie game!!

[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]



A: Garden Level - OOPS YOU DIED
[CONGRATS YOU DIED. Sucks for you!! But Abe and Lucy are DETERMINED to get paperwork done and to do that, they need to get to know YOU.

So as soon as you appear, no matter if you're going to heaven or hell, you get slapped with a "HELLO MY NAME IS ____" sticker by one of the sheep. Said sticker has two possible effects:
-The sticker may say your "True" name or a nickname you don't like, or an alias, etc. How did it get there?? Paperwork. There is a chance it's blank and you can write your own name too.
-Whenever they see a person, they will be compelled to shout "HELLO MY NAME IS [their name] AND I LIKE [something they like.]"

We speed therapying this shit. ]



B: SUMMER HELL
[Whether you're a demon or an angel, eventually you may want to visit the HellRaiser hotel below! Hell is where all the HIP HAPPENING THINGS are after all. Want a lava bath? Go to a club? Gamble?? Just get fucking drunk? Hell's your place.

However, despite being the afterlife, even hell is not immune from the heat of summer. And it's taking the whole flames of hell thing literally. So!

-You might be minding your own business, and suddenly part of your body or clothing just, fucking ignites on fire. Good luck with that!
-You may get badgered by demonic vendors, trying to push various summer t-shirts on you.
-You might get roped into some demons fucking EMBRACING THE HEAT. Ever been tied to a giant fire spit oven an open flame?? YOU HAVE NOW. Maybe someone will help you, or you can handle yourself just fine.

Or you might get lucky and none of that happens and you're just vibing. Good on you!!]



C: Heaven is Central Air Conditioning
[Heaven-side, the heavenly hotel is its normal, luxurious self except for one key different. . .A/C. That's right, only the hotels in Heaven have working air conditioning. Fucked up!! So chilling up here might be the right call. You can always go visit the beach too, or any of the delightful coffee shops. Heaven also is the only place to get caffeine. Wack.

Of course, even heaven is prone to wackiness. Newbies may be prone to:
-Like hell, there are plenty of vendors up here, but instead of cash, today they ask for payment in...jokes? Better give your best one.
-Cherubs may be especially pushy and try to get you dressed in extremely stuffy/heavenly clothing. Enjoy your corsets and such.
-At the beach, if you sun bathe too long without protection, oops! You may find your skin (fur, scales, whatever) turning not red, but another ridiculous color.

OR AGAIN, JUST DO WHATEVER. WHOMST CAN STOP YOU?? You have a phone just text strangers do what you want.]




OOC NOTES:
-"Ash this TDM seems kinda half assed" IT'S SUMMER AND I'M TIRED also with July having no themed event I wanted this TDM to be pretty generic so people can hop in without worrying about timelines!
-This TDM is open to all! For now, you do NOT need to join the comm to play in it!
-Post questions for the mods here
-Remember, playing in the TDM does NOT guarantee your entry or app being accepted into the game proper later down the line!
-Apps open!! Be sure to read the rules linked there and check the current taken list!
-For current players: TDMs count as game canon AND threads may be used for AC if you wish!
-Remember regardless of your alignment, you are free to travel to whatever level you wish!

APPS ARE BEING PROCESSED!
Apps are being processed today!! Apps will remain open til about 11pm EST and/or whenever I wake up after that.

THE IC GEN POST FOR JUNE IS UP!! HAVE AT. Also you can introduce yourselves ooc in this post if you want. Or don't! Do what you want!

Date TBD for future app openings HOWEVER for my sanity am contemplating that in July apps will just be open indefinitely and I will approve them when I get to em!! WHO KNOWS more info on this later when I make up my mind! Prospective players can continue using last month's Test Drive Meme til I figure this out.

IT'S TIME FOR UTENA MONTH!!!1
What is Utena about? SEVERAL THINGS, WHICH I WILL NOT EXPLAIN. Have an incomprehensible AMV (CW: some adjacent DV/domestic violence in the beginning via slapping). Anyway it doesn't matter, FEATURES FOR THIS MONTH:

-FLOWERS AND OUTFITS. Characters may or may not find most (if not all) their wardrobe swapped with general shoujo style outfits. Maybe you have a really stylish school uniform or you're a whole ass Rose Bride. Are you 30 or 40? TOO BAD MAYBE YOU HAVE SHOUJO BOOTY SHORTS NOW. You may also be prone to several tropes, such as your shirt flying open dramatically, sparkles, and posing on top of your car for no reason. Anyway that's all up to you. More importantly are the FLOWERS.

No matter what you're wearing, special outfit or your normal duds, you may have a FLOWER pinned to your chest! Roses of any color are typical, but it can be any kind of flower you want!! If the flowers are damaged/petals fall in anyway, you'll be compelled to abruptly divulge a deep secret or insecurity or whatever to someone. You might be able to keep it in briefly but you'll need to word vomit at someone eventually!!

But would could damage these flowers you ask (aside from general assholes and/or you obliviously plucking the petals yourself??)

-SHADOWS. Two Dimensional shadows of characters characters will be lurking around at your discretion! These shadows are made from negative traits of your characters, and will be compelled to attack you or your CR. Maybe it's out of jealousy, rage, spite, or maybe your shadow is just a dick who knows!! They may or may not talk, that's up to you! Shadows can look like your character's silhouettes or can be something more monstrous idc. If you're a normie and are like 'what can my shadow do to me lol' WELL THEY ALL HAVE SHADOW SWORDS, and they *can* kill you. Or pluck at your flower.

And the only way to permanently destroy a shadow is. . .

-HEART WEAPONS SEE CLIP. No you do not need to say an incantation but you can if you want to be Extra about it.

As Abe and Lucy will explain, by bonding with someone (ie: just talking with them), you can extract a HEART WEAPON of your choice from your chest all dramatically. You can use said weapon, or your CR/the person who pulls it out can, idc. For the purpose of this event, this weapon can be anything. Yes if you want to pull a rose covered bazooka out of your friend's chest as a symbolic gesture of how big your dick is for the, that's kosher.

While shadows can be fought without weapons, only Heart Weapons will put them down permanently, so they will be BACK if you don't strike them down!

-Finally, there's the DUELING ARENA as described on the post. There's nothing dangerous about it but characters can be compelled to hash out their issues and duel or talk or fight there (any kind of fight, it doesn't have to be with weapons or an actual physical fight), it's just there for Aesthetic if character's want a dramatic place to do shit.


Of course per usual, all this is 100% optional and you can go about your normal Heaven or Hell experience. Or do both!!!

Any questions ask them here and happy pride!!

YELLO HECKLERS LISTEN UP

ACTIVITY CHECK
HOLY SHIT IT'S ALMOST JUNE. GET YOUR A/C IN BY FRIDAY. PUT IT IN THE LAST COLUMN HERE!! If you are dropping or on Hiatus, please note that on the Drop/Hiatus tab please!

APPS
APPS WILL OPEN ON FRIDAY MAY 31ST AT...WHATEVER TIME IDK I'll announce it but you won't be poopoo'd if you throw your app in before the plurk goes up. They'll stay open until Sunday evening June 2nd! This is a rather short window I know, but as I've mentioned May has been HELLA BUSY for me so I'm just trying to get everything back on track!

Speaking of, the TDM is here! Remember this counts for AC, so hit ppl up!

UTENA MONTH
JUNE'S THEME WILL BE UTENA!!! I'll do a more in depth ooc post before apps close, but a cliffnotes version of things that will be available to play with!
-Mermay forms will be gone as of June 1st! All the water will finally be drained away and each realm back to normal, hooray!
-Characters will have the option to suddenly be wearing Utena style outfits, and other shoujo style anime shit (think Rose of Versailles and such), each which has a flower pinned to the chest.
-2D Shadows of characters will be popping up in Heaven and Hell! These will be a manifestation of negativity from your characters--be it self hatred, insecurity, loneliness, or silly shit like 'they hate your fashion' lmao. These shadows can appear anywhere and try to attack you or your CR!
-Said shadows can appear as stylized shadow duplicates or monstrous, your choice!
-The gimmick being the ONLY way these shadows can be destroyed? Is with a weapon of your choice that is pulled out of your heart/chest by someone you love/trust/like vaguely/just want CR with. How will they find this out??? Abe and Lucy will explain that HEY GUYS MAYBE YOU SHOULD BOND MORE!!!11 and during bonding ur chests will sparkle.
-Also those flowers pinned to your chest? Any time those get damaged, you'll be compelled to want to divulge something personal to someone. So keep those petals in tact if you don't want that happening!!
-There will be SO many aesthetic roses and rainbows. So many.

But yes I will do a more detailed post on this later this week!!

JULY AND THE FUTURE
July will NOT have a theme going, just to give folks some breathing room to create CR and do their own thing without extra shenanigans! However there will be a bonus gimmick--Heaven's First Big Brother Mentor ProgramTM!!! (official name pending). Basically the ratio of hell to heaven characters is 2:1 at the moment, so Heaven characters will be given tasks to try to ~recruit~ their Hell brethren! This absolutely does not actually have to work and is just to facilitate CR. Hell citizens will also be given some tasks as well, don't u worry. We are going to do our best to team up similar timezones and mix up canons in these groupings. If you have any opt-outs or expect to hiatus during July, please send a private message to heckinmods so we can plan accordingly. This was suggested by Harley!

SPEAKING OF--HARLEY (CHICKENMOD) IS STEPPING DOWN AS MOD/PLAYER
Harley is super busy so is bowing out of the game! SO THANK U CHICKENMOD. However she will be around to help me fix the spreadsheet if I cry at her. Thank u bro. She has a poll here asking how folks would prefer the taken list to be sorted, check it out!

I may or may not be looking for more mods for the future, so if you are interested, send this account a PM! But I'll have more details on this for the gen public come July.

OKAY OKAY THAT'S IT, THANK YOU ALL.

[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]



A: Garden Level - CLEAN UP CREW
[WHUH OH YOU'VE DIED AND ENDED UP IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. A usually beautiful sight--this time it seems the water from heaven is spilling over! Watch your step or you might get a stream of ocean water cascading atop your head like a prop bucket.

The imps and cherubs are hard at work with a water pump tho!! They've got this, really. "Don't mind us, we're just--doing paperwork! Yep!! THAT'S ALL IT IS."

Reassuring. More alarming, you may have noticed that you've changed. Depending on your alignment, you may have more heavenly or hellish traits.............or just for May, you may have AQUATIC traits. That's not worrying!!

Well as some oldbies get teleported to the garden as well, maybe you can ask them some questions!!]



B: HECK-LING TIMES
[Now if you take the elevator down to Hell's Hotel, it's water free! However you may be IMMEDIATELY assaulted by some imps who try to jab you with a shiv. Standard hell greeting!! Maybe someone intervenes or maybe you can like, just punch them. The sheep imps ain't shit. The rest of the hotel is surprisingly nice though, and if you have a room assignment there, you'll find it honestly pretty accommodating.

BUT OUTSIDE? Oh buddy is it still flooded!! Some imps are working hard to pump the water out, but it has the added effect of creating whirlpools. Get sucked into one and not only will you be tossed and turned like laundry, but there's a chance a MEMORY will be tossed right out of you! This could be anything from forgetting your name, your bestie's face, where you live, whatever! Don't worry, the effect will wear off in a few hours, or until someone finds the memory and gives it back to you (in the form of floating seashells that will float near the whirlpools!)]



C: HEAVENLY SING-A-LONGS
[Take the elevator up, and you step in the luxurious Heavenly Hotel! And you may be IMMEDIATELY assaulted by sheep cherubs spritzing you with perfumes or colognes or dolling up your hair. They're here to serve!! Once you get rid of those pests though, feel free to explore the ludicrously divine amenities of the hotel.

OUTSIDE isn't nearly as flooded as Hell, though the local ocean has still expanded greatly, but instead there's a different problem...........there are crabs. And seagulls. And fish?? Singing. They're singing SO much.

You may find a chorus of sea critters at any point in Heaven abruptly bursting into a kiss-the-girl style musical, accidentally revealing a crush you might have, or a silly secret. Better hope passing angels and other residents aren't listening too hard! Of course you can just punt the annoying creatures away. Or eat them. That's an option too, sure. ]




OOC NOTES:
-All effects are optional and last as long as it's fun for you to play with them!

HELLO LOVELY HECKERS we've got some announcements!!

ACTIVITY POLICY
SO after crunching numbers (read: just casually observing shit) I've noticed Heck Game has attracted a lot of new folks not really used to this style of game!! So to help ease people into the environment, we are lowering the Activity requirement to only TEN COMMENTS. Do I think this is too low? A BIT. But also: I don't want people to stress about AC if they are having fun!! SO TEN IT IS.

Some notes!
-AC should be ten comments from anywhere within the month, from the 1st-30th/31st!
-TDM threads can count for AC!
-Standalone threads should still be at least 5 comments! (ie a thread where you jumped someone's top level or post)
-HOWEVER you can also link entire posts you are hosting/running for AC regardless of the thread count!
-Same goes for top levels! If you've made a top level and have a lot going on, you can just link the whole thread/top level instead of counting individual threads regardless of their comment count.
-That said, I reserve the right to pull you aside/waggle my finger at you if you're consistently linking top levels full of 2 comment threads for AC consistently. I WANT PEOPLE TO PLAY, NOT SQUAT.
-The rules/faq have been updated to reflect this!

The new AC policy is in effect for April! The taken list has been updated so you can put in your AC for April now! I'm also saving the list weekly so in case it gets borked again we have a back up!!

TEST DRIVE MEME AND APPS
There won't be a new TDM this month but if someone wants to test out characters feel free to use the old one! Time/space doesn't exist, it's easter 24/7. That said apps will open again on April 25th. The app page has been updated to reflect this!

APRIL MAY JUNE HAPPENINGS
Did you know those are the names of Daisy Duck's nieces?? Wack.

Anyway either tomorrow or like, sometime later this week idk I'll have a mid month effect post for people to putter around in if you choose, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, starting in May, we will have themed months.

Themed months just means there will be a background element you can play with should you wish; it's 100% opt in and you can stop playing with it or ignore it to your heart's content! Currently in the works are:
MAY - MERMAID MONTH
JUNE - UTENA MONTH

What do these mean?? Stay tuned!! If you have some themes you'd like to see feel free to comment with them as well! And as always, if you have to ask "ash can i do this funny thing???' the answer is 99.9% going to be yes go for it.

ANYWAY THAT'S ALL FOR NOW THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING HECKIE GAME. Feel free to leave questions below or in the FAQ!

[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]

A) MAY I OFFER U PIE IN THIS TRYING TIME(GARDEN LEVEL)
[OOPS YOU DIED. WELCOME TO THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. If you're new here, have a sheep cherub or imp slap a "HI MY NAME IS--" sticker on you, and frantically explain "DON'T WORRY, WE'RE WORKING ON IT, WE'LL HAVE YOU OUT HERE....AT...SOME POINT..." Wack. Also, you may noticed that your body may or may not have changed. What's up with that??? Who cares, at least you have as spiffy new cell phone! You're also told you're free to take the elevators up to Heaven or down to Hell. Good luck!

In the mean time--join the garden party that's going on! Or at least, it seems like a party?? Except all they are serving is pie. Apple pie. Blueberry pie. The classics. For you more Carnivorous types, there's stuff like mince pie, and...the name is smudged, but maybe don't eat that one unless you're a cannibal.

But along with a variety of normal pies, if you accidentally eat a weird pie, your character might experience the following:
Vinegar Pie - It's tasty but suddenly you're compelled to blurt out an Insult or ruthlessly tease the next person you see.
"Sweet" Potato - If you're a normally grumpy or aggro character, this pie will suddenly make you want to be more affectionate! This can be anything from wanting to hold hands or saying genuine nice things.
Humble Pie - Suddenly you feel complimenting or praising others and might downplay your own achievements, or insult yourself.

You can probably shake off the effects, but hey. Free pie!! ]



B) LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE (HELL LEVEL)
[TIME TO EXPLORE. Today in the Hell Level, the Hotel (Ho-hell? Helll-tel? Okay just Hotel) it's time for spring cleaning! Wait, didn't they just have that? An Imp says yes, but this is a different type of cleaning. Time to TAKE OUT THE TRASH!!!!

Which is to say, out of no where you might receive a PUNCH in the face by a local, or an imp! If the latter it's like being bapped by a sick little lamb. Still, even if a local punches you, you suddenly heal immediately? That's right, TODAY ONLY, this is a 'get into a scrap injury free' spring holiday, and you can rough house as much as you want with each other today in the Hotel, and NO DAMAGE will remain! Ever wanted to get cut in half and suddenly stitch back together? WELL TODAY'S YOUR LUCKY DAY.

If you're not into PG rated guro however, why don't you try exploring:
-The clubs! The nightlife in hell is FANTASTIC and genuinely fun!
-Games! Along with casinos galore, there are also normal arcades! Any game you can imagine, it exists.
-Or explore parts of Hell's Hotel that don't involve getting into a dogpile! ]



C) MARCH COMES IN LIKE....(HEAVEN LEVEL)
[TODAY IN HEAVEN THOUGH, there are advertisements for the ZOO!! A zoo in heaven?? Fuck yea!! But when you get there you see nothing but...........lions. And lambs. Just, everywhere. They aren't fighting though, but being super cute and soft and have tiny wings. You can pet them and pick them up--well the lambs at least. The lion might crush you. But you're dead anyway so give it a shot champ!!

Local angels explain that every 'spring' the zoo does this, and it's a sign of good fortune! You might wonder why you need good fortune in Heaven, but fuck it, when it Rome!! If you stick around long enough the zoo will change back to 'normal' and you can find other animals to gawk at.

If zoos aren't your thing though, check out heaven's:
-BEACH!! How is there an ocean and sandy white beach in the sky! Who cares, it's heaven! Beach episode time!
-Coffee shops! There are no coffee shops in hell! LIVE YOUR COFFEE AU DREAMS.
-Or just explore the Heavenly hotel in general!]


D) WILDCARD
[DO WHATEVER ELSE or send text messages on your phone!! ]


OOC NOTES:

HELLO FRIENDS SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS

TEST DRIVE MEME
The new test drive meme will be posted on Sunday March 17th at...idk sometime in the morning EST. It'll be active for a couple weeks! Please note it will be posted to the OOC Comm. That said it will still be game canon! Somehow! I haven't worked that out yet, don't worry about it.

As for TDM schedules....there isn't one!! It might not always be monthly! But if people are hankering for one when we've gone a bit without, don't hesitate to poke me.

APP OPENINGS
APPS will open Sunday the 24th! Remember to read the rules if you plan to app!! Also don't comment with your app til that Sunday!

SO HOW THE FUCK DOES THE ACTIVITY CHECK WORK?
SO OVER ON THE TAKEN PAGE, see that last column?? Just link threads equaling up to 20 comments! I did Kaito's already as an example. Also just as a general rule, if I see you've been tagging around and active but you somehow are one or two comments short, I'm PROBABLY not gonna idle you so don't stress about it, just don't make it a habit!

AC is ALWAYS due by the last day of the month, and will be checked through the first week of the next month, and then I'll clear out the column when done/contact people who didn't fill it out!

RE: POSTING WACKY SHIT
I HAVE GOTTEN QUESTIONS LIKE 'ASH WHAT ARE THE LIMITS ON WHAT CAN HAPPEN/WHAT CAN I POST?' AND TO THAT I SAY...uuuh its hard to define ladkfjs. BUT I want to say that generally, blanket one-time fun effect posts are a-okay. By this I mean, say you want to do a forced truth-effect post! You do NOT have to run that by me or any other mod! You can just post and be like "oh no a fire hydrant in heaven broke and the MAGIC WATER IS MAKING PEOPLE TELL THE TRUTH" or some bullshit like that. Posts like this are a-okay and can be contained as one off interactive posts!

I'll still be doing occasional event posts as well, but ALSO if you have an idea for a game wide event (not just a one off post), feel free to dm this journal and we can discuss!!

I HAVE A QUESTION BUT I'M AFRAID OF BEING ANNOYING/BOTHERING YOU
I promise u cannot truly bother me just post it to the FAQ or dm the journal. I will also answer things on Plurk but as I tend to log out of the mod plurk a lot I might miss it if it's only there!!


OKAY THAT'S IT THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING HECKIE GAME

HELLO ALL THANK YOU!! Apps are being processed! Here's our FIRST ACTUAL OFFICIAL OOC POST!! Introduce yourselves (or...reintroduce yourselves) here! Or don't! We're all old and full of anxiety! IF PEOPLE WANT TO FIND YOU, THEY WILL.

Anyway the first official in game post will go up Thursday night with an icebreaker type mingle, and after that, you're free, post yourselves, meet CR, get weird, I don't care!! Please remember though:

1) If you have any special notes or DNIs/Do Not Wants, please make sure these are visible and easy to find for other players! Same goes for any Opt Out/Opt In posts you may have!

2) Also make sure you have SOME kind of profile on your journal so any other players can at least take a quick glance at it to know your character's deal. It doesn't have to be super detailed or anything!

3) We'll be attempting to do two posts a month in general; just silly prompts for building CR! You're also encouraged to do these kinds of posts. Sky's the limit!!

4) Remember to join the comms!! The IC comm is now visible to members only!


Also again be sure to follow plurk for updates!! Thank you all again for the interest in our silly game ♥

TDM UPDATE

Feb. 10th, 2024 08:17 pm
heckinmods: (Default)
[personal profile] heckinmods
HELLO ALL, THE TEST DRIVE MEME IS STILL GOING!! FEEL FREE TO HOP IN
• You do not need to join the comms to play in it!
• Duplicates are welcome just for the TDM!
• Remember TDM =/= auto acceptance into the game later!
OOC MEET AND GREET IS HERE



SOME UPDATES THO:

1) Apps will be open Friday Feb 23rd at 9am EST. Any apps posted before that time will be deleted! Here is the app post! The taken list will also be updated prior to this to reflect characters who were already claimed via EARLY ACCESS.

2) If you did TDM stuff and end up being accepted, if you want--ALL THAT IS CANON. Abe and Lucy will explain away any duplicates and people disappearing as 'an expedited paperwork exception process.' SUCKS THAT YALL STILL HERE THO. If you do NOT want any of those threads to be canon feel free to wipe your character as a clean slate.

3) Questions!! Continue to ask questions here, but here are a few that have popped up!

Can we have a more complicated (or furry) DEMON or HEAVEN FORM for special occasions/when they're angry/that can be turned on and off?? - Yes!! Play with this however you see fit.

Can we get new powers from our new forms? Yes AND no! Basically:

-If it's just for ~flavor/vibes~ or totally harmless, yes! Example: having a no-swear zone aura, smelling like, coffee or something, your feet/shoes leaving fiery prints, animal instincts, aesthetic fire on body parts, etc, all that's okay. Also as established, if you have wings you can fly with them now.

-If you already have a canon power but are translating it to your new form-also okay! Example: A character who already can make fireballs can now also make them from their demon wings, or a character who does dbz lasers decides they can only do so from their halo now. Like that!

-Giving BRAND NEW offensive powers you never had before - BZZT not okay! If you want to get some new powers you're gonna have to make contracts bb.

This has been added to the FAQ! You should read the faq! If we catch anyone power gaming people we reserve the right to thread hop and have Abe/Lucy be like 'YOU DON'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK FOR THIS' and you will get a house arrest power nerf bracelet.

4) SPEAKING OF, THERE IS NOW A PAGE ON CONTRACTS. Please read for more clarification. I will add it navigation at like. some point.

5) Just as a general 'what to expect' for when the game opens proper in March, basically the plan is to always do two 'mingle/event' posts (one for intros and such and one for middle of the month stuff), which will always have silly CR-building prompts. Between those tho you will be free to post yourselves and do whatever the fuck people do in rp.

That's it for now and thank you folks for the positive response!!!
